Give Us a Contract With a Spine

Governor John Kasich

Please sign the petition to send to Governor John Kasich and have your voice heard! Demand a fair contract that puts workers’ rights and safety first; offers public employees and their families a middle-class wage increase; maintains health care; and protects public services.

There’s power in standing together collectively. It’s more important than ever that OCSEA members show their support for a strong union contract, and ask that policymakers do the same. State of Ohio public servants have sacrificed for years, and now it's time to reclaim the respect and dignity you deserve with a strong and fair union contract!

As a proud State of Ohio employee, I stand for a strong and fair union contract. As a good steward of taxpayer dollars, I, along with my union brothers and sisters in public service, work hard and NEVER QUIT putting the citizens of Ohio first.

For eight years, Ohio public servants, like myself, went without pay raises as a shared sacrifice for an ailing economy. But, given that the State of Ohio, and the nation, appears to be stable and in the midst of economic recovery, a substantial pay increase should not be out of the question. Ohio’s public employees have given back tenfold; we have sacrificed, and now is the time to repay our fortitude and dedication.

That’s why I am demanding a fair contract that…
…puts workers’ rights and safety first;
…offers public employees and their families a middle-class wage increase;
…maintains health care;
…protects public services.
